Celyra Bio is a start-up project set to solve the limitations in exosome production, by betting on pluripotent stem cells and machine learning optimization. Our platform combines stem cells from different species to circumvent regulatory hurdles across regions and to unlock novel exosome bioactive profiles.
The plan is to target dermo-cosmetics first, as they offer a faster market entry and an opportunity to de-risk the business before expanding to the field of therapeutics.
The project is currently being incubated at Genopole, in Evry-Courcouronnes, and the company has not been incorporated yet.
Advisor role
• Advise on manufacturing strategy and process scale-up for exosome and secretome production
• Support evaluation and selection of CDMO partners
• Provide guidance on process development, quality systems, and cost-efficient manufacturing
• Contribute to long-term production infrastructure planning
• Help ensure scientific and operational robustness as we scale
This advisor will play a critical role in helping us build scalable, reliable, and high-quality production capabilities for biologically derived cosmetic ingredients.
If you have deep expertise in exosome or cell therapy manufacturing and industrial bioprocessing, we would be excited to connect.
Celyra is currently building its board and is looking for an experienced advisor with deep expertise in bioprocessing, cell therapy manufacturing, and CDMO partnerships. This person will complete a board with other profiles including regulatory specialist, and a BD expert in cosmetic ingredients.
Background:
• 10+ years experience in cell therapy, regenerative medicine, or biologics manufacturing
• Experience working with or within CDMOs, bioprocess development teams, or advanced biologics manufacturing facilities
• Expertise in cell culture scale-up, upstream/downstream processing, and extracellular vesicle or exosome production
• Familiarity with GMP manufacturing frameworks and quality systems
• Experience transitioning processes from R&D to industrial-scale manufacturing
We don't want any conflict of interest, please discuss with transparency. Hours and commitment for board members will be discussed after the first interview if there is a fit and alignment on the company vision.
